And by “MORE!” I mean announcements. Well, one announcement. A big ‘un, though.

Peculiar Comics is changing. (I could have easily made that a Bowie quote, but I decided against it.)

PC is shaking things up. We’re changing format.

…wait, whoa. Whoa. PRONOUNS, buddy. PRONOUNS!

THAT’S GODDAMN RIGHT! WE! US! I’ve roped a couple of suckers with a handful of meth sticking out of my VW microbus-

WHAT I MEAN TO SAY IS THAT I’m graciously being helped by some talented individuals to transform Peculiar Comics from a one-man weekly webcomic into a monthly anthology electronic comics magazine! We’re also making the website into something a little more…professional than a WordPress theme.

SO MAKE SURE YOUR EYEBALLS ARE READY, ‘CAUSE COMMIN’ THIS SUMMER IS A BRAND NEW THANG!

As I mentioned before, I’m switching to a bi-monthly schedule for this chapter in Peculiar Comics.

…for now, at least. I’ve come up with a few ideas regarding printing this monstrosity. My plan is to hopefully have SOME form of printing completed by SPX this year, although I’ve only now discovered that it is in September instead of October. Oh well. We carry on.

So. Recap. Bimonthly schedule for main comic. May change back to weekly. Plans for printing. Current schedule requires filler.

AND for this week’s filler, I present the first draft of what I plan to be the cover of the first volume, which should cover up to the flood in Genesis. I may skip around the Bible from there.

…so I’m starting to realize that “Book of the Spaceman” comics take quite a bit of time to do in Illustrator. I COULD, in theory, do a severely stripped-down version by hand, but one of the things I learned in the Vortex Experiment was to maintain a unified look to the project. Thus, “Book of the Spaceman” installments will be posted every OTHER week.

In the weeks between, I assure you there will be SOME form of content posted here every Wednesday. This week, I have my submission to Velocity‘s most recent DRAW! contest: “HOW I BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF ________!” I chose Cyclops. It’s not that I’ve got any particular ill will towards the character; I just felt he was the best candidate for a bizarre beat-down. It’d be simple: stab his f***ing eyes. BUT! In stabbing through his visor, I risk death and/or dismemberment. LOOPHOLE! Send a monkey to do it for me.

In the meantime, feel free to catch up on old strips from BotS, the Vortex Experiment, and the previous comics in archive, and check out the Pretentious Facebook Fan Page. I’ll see you next week with a new heretical visualization of the Book of Genesis.
